PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov (leg) has been put on the injured reserve list, but on a more positive note, Jon Merrill is ready to resume his career after suffering a concussion in his NHL debut. (The Star-Ledger)

Sean Couturier has regained his confidence, but that won’t necessarily lead to the 20-year-old forward getting more points. Philadelphia Flyers coach Craig Berube wants to see Couturier prioritize his defensive game. (Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News)

Defenseman Brian Campbell wants to see some significant improvements from the Florida Panthers when they have the man advantage. Even during their disappointing 2013 campaign, the Panthers ranked sixth with a 20.4% success rate in power-play situations. This season they’re dead last at 9.5%. (Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel)

Rangers associate coach Scott Arniel said that the team hasn’t given up on Michael Del Zotto after listing him as a healthy scratch for two straight games. (Bergen Record)

Why did the Florida Panthers agree to absorb half of Kris Versteeg’s remaining salary and cap hit when they traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks? Florida had reportedly been shopping Versteeg for a while and the Blackhawks were the only ones expressing much interest. (ESPN.com)

Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk has been the most difficult goalies to score against this season. Leave it to a high-level player like Leon Draisaitl to make it look this, well, “easy.”

Draisaitl scored his 13th goal of 2016-17 by capping this pretty give-and-go play with Benoit Pouliot. You can see the frustration from Dubnyk at the end of the tally, as if he was saying “How was I supposed to stop that?” (though probably with more colorful language).

Draisaitl came into Friday with five goals and three assists in his last five games, so he’s been almost unstoppable lately.
